When Angie Craig says she supports Medicare “for all who want it” it’s because she’s raking in thousands in campaign contributions from the health insurance industry and will do nothing to take them on. We must eliminate the middlemen, not pander. #MedicareForAll #PatientsBeforeProfits #Minnesota

Ah, I see that @angiecraigmn.bsky.social is now doubling down on her self-absorbed insensitivity and calling John and Yvette Hoffman liars. Interesting strategy! And by that, I mean that Angie is an awful human being. Vote Peggy Flanagan on or before August 11th! #Minnesota #DFL #Primary

Calling John & Yvette Hoffman liars is disgusting & shows exactly the type of person Angie Craig is. But imagine being her and just doubling down by sharing these texts, which not only don’t address John’s story but also just affirm that you’re an insensitive, selfish jerk. Just drop out, Angie.

Angie Craig calling John and Yvette Hoffman liars was not on my bingo card. Just wow. They don't deserve this, especially after everything they've dealt with in the last year. My heart hurts for them.

Pretty awful stuff from Angie Craig, although unfortunately somehow also not surprising. We can’t possibly allow her to represent MN in the U.S. Senate. Thank you, Sen. Hoffman, for telling your story! Vote Peggy Flanagan on or before August 11th!

No one candidate is bigger than the work of building a better Minnesota. It’s frustrating to watch a campaign prioritize its own interests over the success of the rest of the ticket and the party as a whole. Sometimes you can win the battle and still cost us the war.

In her last act as Speaker of the MN House, Lisa Demuth could’ve helped save home nursing coverage for thousands of kiddos on private insurance. Instead, she sided with insurance companies and wasted the final moments of session. Very fitting end to her tenure as Speaker and to this #mnleg session.

Peggy Flanagan was a former school board member who was elected state rep in 2015 and Lieutenant Governor in 2018, which is when Angie Craig left the corporate world for Congress. Craig’s repeated claim that Flanagan, a qualified candidate, needs “training wheels” is offensive and embarrassing.

It’s also just whack that Angie Craig doesn’t think being Lieutenant Governor is a role that qualifies you for Senate considering whose seat she is hoping to fill.

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

Kind of feels like maybe next session is finally the time for #mnleg to talk about privatization and why Minnesota has, for so very long, decided to outsource such a plethora of services that could be administered by local or state government, with greater oversight, and by using union workers!

St. Paul Police going from “we didn’t help ICE” to “we were called to assist” the feds in less than 24 hours. Ridiculous.
Graphic of a statement from the St. Paul PD Chief, which reads: “ON NOVEMBER 25, 2025, FEDERAL AGENTS WERE WORKING A DETAIL ON THE 600 BLOCK OF ROSE AVENUE IN SAINT PAUL.
WHEN THE FEDERAL PERIMETER WAS BROKEN BY PROTESTORS, SAINT PAUL POLICE OFFICERS WERE CALLED TO ASSIST. THE STREET WAS COMPROMISED WITH FOOT AND VEHICLE TRAFFIC, AND A DANGEROUS SITUATION WAS UNFOLDING. SAINT PAUL POLICE OFFICERS STOOD BETWEEN PROTESTORS AND FEDERAL AGENTS, SO PROTESTORS COULD EXPRESS THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND FEDERAL AGENTS COULD COMPLETE THEIR LEGAL OBJECTIVES.”

🚨 Tim Kaine is saying the quiet part out loud - underscoring why anyone shouldn't be satisfied with any of the "no" statements or posts from Dem Senators. If Dem Senators are truly disgusted with this save they should be calling on #SurrenderSchumer to step aside as the Leader immediately.
Emily Wilkins post on X:

"Kaine said while only 8 D's voted with R's, more wanted to see the shutdown end.

" I can tell you this, there were a lot more than 8 that were really happy that the 8 of us voted them the way we did."

"But I'm not going to put words in anybody's mouth.""
